Safe Operation - Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet K500HB Use And Care Manual

Safe Operation

WARNING:
When in use, portions of your grill get hot enough to cause
severe burns. Children and pets should never be left alone or unattended in
the area where the grill is being used. Never allow children to sit, stand or play
on or around the grill.
IMPORTANT:
Improper use or installation is dangerous. Because this grill
produces intense heat, the risk of accidents or potential injuries is increased.
Extreme care must be taken. Carefully follow all instructions, including the
following:
„
To reduce the risk of fire, burns or other injury, read this Use and Care Guide thoroughly. Begin by
ensuring proper installation and servicing. Do not repair or replace any part of the grill yourself unless it is
specifically recommended in this Use and Care Guide. All other service must be carried out by a qualified
gas technician.
„
Never allow children to operate the grill. Do not store items of interest to children in or around the grill.
„
Do not heat unopened food containers in the grill. The build up of pressure resulting from the heat may
cause the container to burst.
„
Never lean on any part of the grill. When lighting the grill, always pay close attention to what you are
doing. Make sure you are aware of which burner you are lighting and can see whether or not it is lit. Make
sure you have ready access to the burner valves when you are lighting the burner. Make sure you are
pushing in the burner valve to activate the ignition when you attempt to light the burner.
„
When the burners are on or the grill is hot, do not touch the grilling surface, warming rack, any part of the
grill's interior or any surface of areas surrounding the grilling surface. These areas become extremely hot
and may cause severe burns. Likewise, do not touch any part of the grill hood or grilling drawer. Do not
touch any surface of the cook box that can be accessed within the cabinet below the grill.
„
The cabinet below the grill is not for storage. It is for service access and cleaning. Do not store
combustible materials in the cabinet below the grill. Likewise, do not store items made with materials that
might melt or otherwise be damaged by heat.
„
Do not use any cleaner, including water, on a hot grill.
„
Be sure all control knobs are in the OFF position and the grill is cool before using any aerosol cleaner on it
or near it. The chemical used for aerosol propellant could ignite in the presence of heat.
„
Always wait at least 24 hours after the last time the grill was hot before emptying the ash bin.
„
Always use dry pot holders or gloves on hot surfaces or cooking tools: moist or damp pot holders or
gloves may cause steam burns. Never use a towel or bulky cloth in place of pot holders. Do not let pot
holders touch hot portions of the grill or allow them to get near the open flame.
„
Do not operate the grill under an unprotected combustible construction. Use only in a well-ventilated area.
The grill is for outdoor use only.
